What Is Paleo?

The paleolithic diet otherwise known as the 'caveman diet' is a diet based on the eating patterns of our most ancient hunter gatherer ancestors.

the 'caveman diet' ( 'the paleo diet' ) is based on consuming only those foods provided and available by nature. eat and live of the same food our ancestors obtained from hunting wild game and gathering diverse fruits, vegetables, plants, nuts, and seeds available over the seasons of the year.

Why the paleo diet is a BETTER lifesyle for us?

Human genes have not changed that much over the last thousand years to adapt to our new agriculture-based diet. In fact, our present genes are still 99.99% identical in makeup to those of our paleolithic ancestors.

If the 'caeman' diet worked better for our ancestors we can easly assume that the food our ancestors consumed remain to be the food best adapted to our metabolisms today. 

Research findings

some researches provide indications that hunter gatherers were very

healthy. They were taller, had better builds and bigger brains. Although

their life expectancy was shorter, deaths were often caused by outside

factors such as extreme weather conditions, accidents, infections, and

predatory animals. They did not suffer from chronic or degenerative

diseases such as diabetes, cancer or heart disease. These diseases emerged

only when we shifted to agriculture - modern diseases are the consequence

of civilization, the result of a mismatch of our genetic makeup and our

lifestyle.

Is the paleo diet all about the food?

Our body, not so diffrent from a mechine, needs a complete care. 

we need to know what we put inside this machine, how to use it, how much to use it and how to prevent it from getting rusty.

It's not enought we know what is the best food as a source of energy is for it we also need to know how to use our body and how to use the energy to make our body stronger.

the paleo diet is talking mainly about what food is best for our body but to give our body the bast care we need also do some exercise to prevent rust and gain more power.

Our ancestors were physical challenges were extreme, some hunter gatherers would walk approximately 19km (12 miles) a day.

Our ancestors were always physically active. why can't we?

The paleo diet can be further characterized by the following:

• Caloric intake (around 65%), came from eating all the edible parts of
   vertebrate animals (wild game and fish).
• A significant part of our ancestors diet consisted of fresh fruits, plants,
   nuts, seeds, flowers, leaves, and bulbs. These were all consumed raw,
   which maximized the retention of nutrient rich content and diseasepreventing compounds. 
• Grains where never present in any significant quantity. Even though they
   where around, the grains and small seeds were never milled or ground
   into fine particles and cooked in order to be consumed safely.
• Sodium salt, when present, was in very minimal amounts.

what is paleo diet for me?

one of the most intriguing, fascinating diets that have come out in

recent years.

The paleo diet is the diet the human body is supposed to follow I'm not talking about loosing weight only! NOT like all the other diet plans. All the positive results gained from following the paleo diet are far beyond that. Its not just being thinner, it's about being and feeling healthier.
